KQ2 News Internship Opportunities

My name is Adam Repass-Orduna and I was a 2015 graduate. You helped me a lot my last year at UMKC, and as a result I was able to get an internship with KMBC and eventually hired as a news room assistant.

I am now a full time sports reporter for KQ2 news up in St. Joseph MO.

Our news director Andy House has expressed the need for more help in the news room, and I immediately thought about UMKC.

I know the journalism students are looking for future job opportunities. With KQ2 being in a small market, it is a great station for gaining experience and being hands on.

Below I will post my news directors email if you are interested in working with him on any internship possibilities.
